i first met kerry and erik over 4 years ago when i photographed her sister monica’s wedding. kerry was a bridesmaid and erik was a groomsmen, although not yet together at that point…their love story is a sweet one and i’d say their love of one another is pretty evident in the photos i captured…
this one is for kerry’s dad… he remembered i took a few shots with a similar mirror at monica’s wedding and told me how he then started taking pictures while riding his motorcycle by using the side mirrors, hah…a little bit crazy, but his enthusiasm was contagious…
smile break…
back to work…
i had the pleasure of meeting monica and jon’s daughter, alison…. she is a super cutie pie, which of course was no surprise to me…
alison does monica’s make-up…
and her aunt pam’s… and her aunt kerry’s….
over to the guy’s room where no one was doing make-up…
putting on the suspenders….
i always get a kick out of watching one of my brides zip up the wedding gown of one of my other brides….
sometimes people step in front of the shot, but when they are cute and standing there in a diaper, they become the shot…
love this…
i love this outtake portrait…
monica wells up as kerry and erik have their first look…
i love how erik is beaming when he sees kerry in her dress and his mom is just as moved…
love…
all smiles…
i love how much kerry and erik laughed together. they brought out the best smiles in one another and i know they will continue to do so for years to come…
sisters….
three of my brides and my first flower girl born to one of my couples in this photo… and her priceless expression!
awwwww….
love how just the right amount of rain drops are falling as the sun was setting….
i’ve never asked guests to cease taking photos for a period of time, but given these lighting circumstances, it was imperative that i did so as not to have any shots compromised… super big thank you to all the guests for fulfilling my request!
this is the moment before gillian breaks her foot! love the enthusiasm!
if you look closely, you will see a tear falling…
one of my favorite dads to work with…
his second appearance on my blog…
love it!
broken foot and she was still out there dancing!
cutie pie…
hah!
so awesome to be able to work with kerry and erik and capture all the love they share for one another.. and of course a total blast working with past and future couples and familiar friends and family. thanks to everyone for being so awesome and thanks to brian l for assisting me on this job.
